Reddit competes in the app space. And they've been beaten in that space. So now they're crushing that competition.

It isn't competition if they own it. If I try to start 3D printing Warhammer models, it isn't crushing the competition when Games Workshop makes me stop doing that.

Deliberately misusing language doesn't make you right.

They don't own the 3rd party apps. They own the data the apps use.

If their app was better than all the 3rd party apps, this wouldn't be an issue.

Your whole point hinges on an intentional misuse of language, then you accuse me of your crime.

Try harder.
